Famous quotes containing the words high, profile and/or cases:

    “For thou, O Spring! canst renovate
    All that high God did first create.
    Be still his arm and architect,
    Rebuild the ruin, mend defect.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Nature centres into balls,
    And her proud ephemerals,
    Fast to surface and outside,
    Scan the profile of the sphere;
    Knew they what that signified,
    A new genesis were here.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “For the most part, we are not where we are, but in a false position. Through an infirmity of our natures, we suppose a case, and put ourselves into it, and hence are in two cases at the same time, and it is doubly difficult to get out.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
